– direct Toronto flights launched
Government has granted Caribbean Airlines (CAL) flagship carrier status for Guyana. The announcement was made Tuesday during the launch of the inaugural non-stop flight between Toronto, Canada and Guyana by CAL.
In recognising Caribbean Airlines’ commitment over the years to the Guyanese people, Public Works Minister Robeson Benn disclosed that government has granted the entity flagship status.
CAL Chairman, Rabindra Moonan underscored the airline’s commitment to providing reliable and affordable air links for Guyanese travellers stating, “Caribbean Airlines continues to prove that, after years of faithfully serving the Guyana market, we are the airline that the Guyanese people rely on.”
Guyana has been struggling in recent years to attract airlines after its last flagship, the privately owned Guyana Air 2000 folded in 2003.
There were a number of charters in Universal and RedJet and more recently EZjet. All have folded.
According to a statement from the Trinidad-owned CAL, it rose to the challenge for increased seating into and out of the country and provided additional capacity spanning Thanksgiving to December peak seasons.
The airline has increased the number of available seats to various destinations across the Caricom and North America regions, providing for the movement of visitors, business travelers and cargo with over 220-flights directly to and from Guyana per month.
CAL’s addition flight to Canada will operate twice per week in wide-body 767-300 aircraft in addition to the 12-weekly 737-800 connecting flights on the route. The non-stop flight will be between Cheddi Jagan International and Pearson International Airport in Toronto.
